Read it for lit.
Depressing pre-analysis and depressing post-analysis.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a tale of corruption, lonesomeness, and terror. Dr. Frankenstein learns how his own actions to satisfy his loneliness may come back to haunt him, and Frankenstein’s monster is born with a fresh moral slate but the disadvantage of ugliness and the victim of prejudice. This story exhibits the effects of a bigoted society on one’s moral values, and how one lonely scientist takes things too far.

Ein ewiger, poetisch umschriebener Wettkampf, wer am meisten leidet und wessen Schuld es ist.
Ein absolutes Muss für alle, die Klassiker lieben, für alle anderen wahrscheinlich etwas anstrengend.

Die Idee: ja!
Stilistische Umsetzung: Nicht 100% überzeugend.
Ohne Interesse daran herauszufinden, warum dies ein Klassiker ist, hätte ich es wahrscheinlich nicht fertig gelesen.
